My Anemone
If you’ve spent any amount of time with me, you know how much I love my fish tank. I started the hobby soon after my family was targeted by people so unhappy with themselves, they hid behind fake email accounts and anonymous letters spewing racial and, oftentimes, hate-filled barbs about the atrocities they’d suffered at the hands of blacks. Since I was available and black, they wanted me to kindly shoulder the blame for all of the wrongs they had experienced in the world.
